About this Collection

This collection spotlights the classic 1960s and 1970s Spider-Man work of legendary artist John Romita Sr., who defined the look of the web-slinger and his supporting cast for a generation. It reprints key issues from his celebrated run, showcasing his dynamic storytelling and iconic character designs that helped shape the Marvel Universe. A must-read for fans of Silver Age Spider-Man and Romita's influential art style.

In "How Green Was My Goblin!", Peter Parker’s routine visit to the doctor takes a dark turn when he learns Aunt May’s health is precarious. As Spidey battles a group of mysterious goons who douse him with a strange gas, his weakened spider sense fails him—leading to a shocking confrontation outside his home, where the Green Goblin captures him in his civilian guise. The moment the Goblin removes his mask, the truth of his identity crashes down: it’s Norman Osborn. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by John Romita, this emotionally charged tale blends personal stakes with classic menace, all rendered in the signature style of Romita’s cover pencils and inks.
